Likelihood to Recommend D3 is clearly tailoring their approach to large organizations with a significant geographical footprint who are largely in need of a tool that provides robust analytics and activity graphing to analyze productivity and supervisory efficiency at the executive level. However, small to medium-sized organizations and those with narrow geographical footprints may find the investment vastly more expensive than the return. The implementation of minimum purchasing guidelines means that smaller departments will be forced into purchasing tools they have little to no use for, and medium-size departments will be paying a high price for features they do find helpful but could get elsewhere for a substantially lower price. Additionally, small to medium-sized users may find that D3's focus on large organizational level tools is less helpful than some smaller competitor's software which provides a number of capabilities with more operational relevance for environments like office buildings, college campuses, university police departments, and housing associations. Overall, I would recommend D3 to large organizations who have need of the advanced tools included in their more expensive modules. The lack of some smaller levels of customization, 1st line operational features, and the high-end user interface is less important at that level of implementation.
Read full review Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.
Read full review Pros Great Automation in incident response. Reduce complexity and security threats. Best SOAR security platform. Read full review Direct Access to devices via Live Terminal which provides operations with scripting, triage, and preservation of artifacts. Behavioral Indicators of Compromise which provides alerts on events regarding groups of hosts and their signatures. Querying complex data sets involving a variety of devices for network connections, hashes, DNS, etc. Read full review Cons A lack of documentation of the administrative interface. Additional training is needed to take advantage of all of the features. Remediation and post-incident activities are not supported. Read full review Traps doesn't seem to function as a traditional A/V very well, so it's better as another layer to your endpoint protection Traps can cause issues with some legacy or custom programs, so exceptions may have to be made Traps falsely identifies things as malicious at times, this is not often though Read full review Usability Day to day, Cortex is easy to use when you have no alerts and when an agent upgrade doesn't go south. Alerts are far too "clicky", there's too many steps to drilling down to what actually happened to trigger an alert. Investigating alerts in Cortex takes about 5x longer than it should.
Read full review Support Rating The support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps.
McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of
SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.
Read full review Return on Investment More stability in aggrieved systems. Drops in cyberattacks from early reports to 34%. Cost savings of 12% per year. Read full review After putting Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR on a user's system, users came back with a positive response that there are no performance issues now. We are able to track and control granular suspicious and malicious activities. Web controls are missing, which if they would have been there would have been very helpful. Read full review ScreenShots
